Top streams for the week

Lakeith Stanfield is a telemarketer whose sudden success sweeps him into the center of a ruthless corporate conspiracy in the inventive satirical comedy “Sorry to Bother You” (2018, R). The feature debut of hip-hop artist turned filmmaker Boots Riley takes on race, income inequality, art, and commerce with a wild sense of humor. Tessa Thompson, Jermaine Fowler, Terry Crews, Danny Glover, and Armie Hammer co-star. Now streaming on Hulu.

Foreign language pick: Alice Rohrwacher won the screenwriting prize at the Cannes Film Festival for “Happy as Lazzaro” (Italy, 2018, PG-13, with subtitles), a modern parable of a holy innocent (first-time actor Adriano Tardiolo) that combines earthy naturalism with miracles and morality. It debuts directly to Netflix.

Classic pick: There’s a populist bent to the comedy “The Talk of the Town” (1942) starring Ronald Colman as a stuffy but erudite legal scholar dragged out of his ivory tower of abstract judicial philosophy by his bubbly landlady (Jean Arthur) and a social activist (Cary Grant) on the run from a phony murder charge. This trio makes the debate dance with screwball flair. Streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

Foreign language TV: “1983: Season 1” (Poland, with subtitles) is a conspiracy thriller set in an alternate reality where Poland remained under totalitarian control. Call it Netflix’s Euro-centric answer to “The Man in the High Castle.” Also is “Baby: Season 1” (Italy, with subtitles) about a high school girl with a scandalous secret life.

Prime Video and Hulu

Matt Damon gets small in “Downsizing” (2017, R), a comedy from Oscar-winning writer-director Alexander Payne that uses the incredible shrinking people gimmick for a social satire of class, economic anxiety, conservation, personal responsibility, and human nature. Prime Video and Hulu.
